Instructions
Prep:
- Combine all ingredients under “Green marinade” in a food processor. Blend until everything is smooth.
- Pour the marinade over chicken drumsticks in a glass container. Make sure the sauce is coated evenly over the meat (bottom and top).
- Seal the container and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Make sure to turn the meat around at the halfway point to marinate both sides.
Day of baking:
- Preheat the oven to 450 F
- Place a layer of aluminum foil over a baking tray & Lightly drench the chicken before placing on a baking wire.
- Bake the first side for 20 mins.
- Then turn the tray 180 degree to bake the opposite side evenly for another 15 minutes.
- Flip the drums to bake the other side and lower the heat to 420 F for an additional 15 minutes or until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve with fresh lime wedges. Enjoy, Eat, and Watch them disappear quickly ! :))
